NOTE: Car is not in SEATTLE, it's in West Richland WA. I recently purchased this truck from the original owner in Seattle. Car was advertised as needing head gaskets. I have replaced the head gaskets with Victor set, heads were tested free of cracks and resurfaced. I chose not to do valve job because the machine shop said with the miles that were on the car I shouldn't need it... I think that was a bad Idea in retrospect. PO told me that at 60K the head gaskets went bad and the shop asked them if they'd like to just have them install a new short block at the time and they did, though I can't prove that and the dumb-butt previous owners can't find their records because of divorce chaos, I don't have any reason to doubt them and the high compression indicates this is true.Currently car is running very nicely, good power and crisp throttle response, no overheating. When I filled the coolant system after HG's I did put some liquid glass tablets in the system as preventative maintanence as many auto manufactures do with brand new cars. Car does not have the SAI (secondary air injection) which makes it quite a bit simpler and less to go wrong. All electrical components work fine except rear sunroof, heater system is perfect and the AC blows cold, tires are 70%, stops fine with a bit of squeek from the front brakes (rotors worn) rear fine rotors good, ACE system good, ABS fine no lights, traction control and 4x4 good (see pic), exhaust good. Car has no rust visible anywhere, under carriage clean, steering tight and smooth, transmission shifts perfectly, shocks good, no windshield cracks. Exterior paint very nice, one scratch on drivers door (see pic), one quarter sized ding in door. Interior very nice, color camel leather, no cracks or damage, seats show some fading is all, fix with proper dye and leather treatment, floor mat worn drivers side, original took kit, jack etc present... car runs and drives NICE. I have replaced two o2 sensors with generic sensors chasing the codes, and think that was also a bad idea, seems these things like OEM and that's it. Also replaced one rattling cat converter, flushed power steering, new plugs and "Kingsborne" wires, air filter, oil change. Note photo, of testing the car for combustion chamber leaks and cracked block/ slipped liner problem, results negative for any problems (BLUE). Car is throwing some codes, PO447 (evap open, usually a fuel cap) PO102 (mass air flow sensor) PO112 (Intake air temp sensor) P1884 (?) and misfire cyl 5 and multiple random misfires (don't have the codes handy). The o2 sensors fixed the rich condition and no signal from o2 sensor codes. Far as the codes go I don't have the time (or patience mostly) to get into this, first step would probably be to do vacuum test (haven't yet) and or Air flow sensor, maybe coil pack. IT"S POSSIBLE that the car needs a valve job in light of the compression readings. This amounts to full disclosure on the truck, should be a good reliable runner with codes fixes but the usual caveats apply here as this is a land rover after all ;-) Tomorrow will take pics of the interior. Compression is 180 178 150 150 (left bank) 180 170 160 150 (right bank). Car should be fine for pick up and trip home, I have put about 500 trouble free miles on this since the head gasket fix. Thank you.

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models
Thu, Oct 1 2020Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:

Jaguar models could rev with inline-six engines again
Tue, Apr 19 2016Rumors are swirling once again that Jaguar might return an inline-six engine to its lineup. Autocar claims Jaguar Land Rover will use the modular Ingenium engine family to create a 3.0-liter straight-six. The new motor will replace the automaker's current V6. As with the Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder, JLR will likely offer the powerplant in gasoline- and diesel-fueled versions. A rumor in May 2015 also suggested JLR would create an Ingenium-based turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. According to Autocar, the engine bay in the XE, XF, and F-Pace can already fit the longer engine. The automaker isn't talking, though. "We can't comment on future product one way or another," company spokesperson Nathan Hoyt told Autoblog. Jaguar built much of its performance legacy with straight-six-powered vehicles. While the C-Type and D-Type were winning races with the engine layout, practically every Jaguar production model used them as well. Today, straight-sixes are less common. BMW continues to use them, and Mercedes-Benz reportedly also plans to offer one soon. While Autocar's report is still just a rumor, the move to an inline-six could be advantageous for JLR. For example, using an Ingenium-derived design could simplify manufacturing by allowing the company to build the powerplant in one factory alongside the 2.0-liter version. Returning to a design with such an important heritage for Jaguar would also make life easy for the brand's marketing team because it could link the new engine to past racing glory. Related Video:
